Full details
The Beurer BG17 is an ideal diagnostic tool for health-conscious individuals who want a reliable, easy-to-use monitor for tracking body composition metrics like weight, body fat, and muscle mass at home. This scale is perfect for families or households of up to 10 users, offering clear insights via a large LCD screen, though users should note that the device relies on bioelectrical impedance analysis and may have variations if used immediately after physical activity or intense hydration changes.

FAQs
Does the BG17 need to be calibrated?
The scale is designed to initialize automatically. If it has been moved, simply step on it once and step off to allow it to recalibrate before taking your official measurement.
Can I use this scale if I have a pacemaker?
No. Individuals with medical implants like pacemakers should not use diagnostic scales that use bioelectrical impedance analysis, as the small electrical current may interfere with the device.
What do the 5 activity levels represent?
The levels range from no physical activity to high-intensity exercise. Selecting the right level adjusts the formula used to calculate body fat and muscle mass to reflect your body's unique requirements.
Is the glass platform breakable?
The platform is made of safety glass designed for standard weight capacity, but avoid dropping heavy objects directly onto the glass to prevent chipping or cracking.
How many users can save their data?
The BG17 allows for memory storage for up to 10 individual user profiles.
Troubleshooting
The scale displays inconsistent or incorrect weight values.
Ensure the scale is on a flat, hard surface. Avoid placing it on carpet or rugs, and wait for the display to show 0.0 before stepping on.
Body fat or muscle percentage is not showing.
Check that your feet are clean, dry, and making direct contact with the stainless steel electrodes. Ensure you are not wearing socks or shoes.
The display is blank or dim.
Check the battery contacts and ensure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity. Replace with fresh batteries if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the scale, insert the batteries as instructed and follow the user interface to create profiles for each person. Input your gender, age, and activity level to ensure accurate BIA calculations. Always place the scale on a hard, level floor surface rather than carpet, which can cause reading errors. To clean the unit, wipe the glass surface and electrodes with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the scale in water to protect the internal electrical components.
